Hi Smarty! Thanks for doing this AMA. Do you have any suggestions on how to help build a winning mindset in a team as a coach? I'm coaching a B team this season & we scrimmage against our league's A team every week. While my team always tries their hardest, I know they feel resigned to their fate of not getting lead very often, not being able to catch & stop opposing jammers & not always being able to counter the A team's offense. During our first game of the year, our opponents came out very strong & we struggled to claw back their lead.
I'm concerned that my team is so used to getting soundly beaten every week in scrimmage, that when they were down by a significant points margin early in that game that they lost some of their mental resolve. This is my first season a coach so any ideas on how to help shape the way the team thinks about themselves & their ability to win would be great. Thanks!
